Mood board: On the eve of the opening of the house’s 126th anniversary Jeanne Lanvin exhibition, Alber Elbaz had been thinking about his own roots for A/W, revisiting his Moroccan heritage in a printed postcard of tiled colour and texture blocking. Alternate hues sectioned off geometric panels within woollen sheaths, as leather harnesses drew in sack dresses and fringe decorated blanket coats and wrap skirts.
Best in show: The almost monastic midnight-hued velvet pieces that offered a regal transition to the show’s heavily encrusted swan song.
Finishing touches: Habit-like rope curtain tassels were tied around waists and also adorned asymmetric felted hats as the season’s new pom-pom.
